The Orchard by Wedgewood Weddings: A Manifee Wedding Venue
December 10th, 2024
Hello there, it's Ben again! As a wedding photographer based in sunny southern California, I have had the incredible opportunity to capture numerous love stories in beautiful settings. One such gem that I had the pleasure of visiting recently is The Orchard by Wedgewood weddings in Manifee, California. Today, I want to share my experience of this tranquil haven, which is nothing short of a green paradise.
As a wedding photographer, capturing the magic of the day in a setting like The Orchard is truly a privilege. The peaceful atmosphere and the abundant greenery come together to create an enchanting setup that adds an extra layer of beauty to the love story being celebrated. So, if you're planning your big day and are looking for a venue that combines tranquility with natural beauty, The Orchard in Manifee, California is undoubtedly worth considering.
The venue offers a captivating outdoor oasis with a dramatic gazebo overlooking a lily pond for the ceremony, an enchanting reception space on an outdoor lawn adorned with bistro lights and twinkle-lit trees, picturesque views of towering willow trees and the serene pond, and a secluded ambiance enhanced by the natural surroundings, complete with a dressing suite for changing and final touches.
In terms of pricing at The Orchard couples can expect to spend between $5,000 and $20,000 on the venue depending on the day of the week and time of year. For a wedding with 50 guests on a Tuesday in December may run you about $5,000 (minimum spend may apply). On the other hand couples can expect to spend $12,000-18,000 on the venue during the fall or summer with a 75-100 guests. You can view their full pricing guide here but keep in mind that there will be minimum spends and a 22% service charge that will apply.
There are also many great photo opportunities at The Orchard. From the gazebo, to in front of the pond, and all the different green walls, a fountain, to even dirt trails for a more rustic feel, there is something for everyone at this venue. My personal favorite is the bistro light tunnel at the entrance for some amazing night shots!
